As you move towards a greener lifestyle, don’t forget to green your office too whether it is at home or away!

• When possible, use energy star equipment - computers, printers, copiers, fax machines, coffee makers, etc. – for maximum energy efficiency.
• Recycle print cartridges at office supply stores and use soy ink cartridges, which require less oil to manufacture and emit fewer air pollutants.
• Keep your screen saver blank instead of the energy hogging, hypnotic graphics ones. They aren’t good for our eyes anyway!

 The air in our homes, schools and offices can be 2 to 5 times more polluted, and in some cases 100 times more polluted, than outdoor air.  For obvious reasons, winter is the worst time of year for indoor air pollution problems.  There are several simple steps you can take to minimize indoor air pollution in your home.
